01/08/2021

The Kahnaw�:ke COVID-19 Task Force is extremely concerned over reports that some Kahnawa�kehr�:non who have recently tested positive or have been advised by Public Health to self-isolate, are not in compliance.

�We are appealing to Kahnawa�kehr�:non to follow Public Health Directives in order to protect our most vulnerable�, said Lisa Westaway, Executive Director of the Kateri Memorial Hospital Centre. �Those who fail to self-isolate and follow the COVID-19 directives are putting the entire community at risk.�

Those who are told to self-isolate, MUST do so. �Please follow the directives of the local public health team. They are trained professionals�, says Lisa, �they know what they are doing, they have the community�s wellbeing at heart.� Failure to comply with Local Public Health Directives could result in heavy fines as per the Kahnaw�:ke Emergency Preparedness Law.

Currently there are twenty (20) positive COVID-19 cases.
